Chapter 1761 Meeting
Wang Wei, a famous poet and painter in the Tang Dynasty.
There are very few handed down paintings and calligraphy, and most of them are not in China. They have been regretted by countless collectors in later generations. He did not expect that Chu Heng would get one by chance today. How could he not be happy?
“Good stuff, good stuff!”
Chu Heng looked at the scroll in his hand carefully through the light, nodded his head, and then quickly and carefully put it away again after reading it. , put it gently on the shelf for fear of being damaged.
"Look at this again." Yan Muze handed over another porcelain vase at this time. It had a bulging belly and a narrow neck. The glaze was blue-grey and plump. There were fine flakes on the glaze, and the lines were iron-black.
It was porcelain from Ge Kiln, but Chu Heng already had several of these items, so the level of surprise was naturally not as great as Wang Wei's authentic silk paintings.
Therefore, the original Xiao Tiantian could not help but become Mrs. Niu now. He took it and looked at it twice before putting it aside.
"It's pretty good, is there anything else?"
"The rest is nothing too outstanding, you can see for yourself." Zhang Yi shook his head.
Chu Heng immediately stepped forward and glanced at the items on the shelves.
There are quite a lot of types, including jewelry, Buddha statues, porcelain, pen holders, inkstones, etc. There are about a hundred pieces, all of which are rare and exquisite.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Because of Wang Wei’s silk-painted pearls and jade in front of him, Chu Heng didn’t even want to take a second look at the porcelain from Ge Kiln. At this time, he was not interested in these things. Son was even more uninterested, so he took a casual look and followed Zhang Yi. They came out of the warehouse and returned to the cultural relics store to drink tea and chat.
At twelve o'clock, the pigeon market opened on time. He was busy for a while and went to the market for a stroll. At about two o'clock, he was a little tired and asked someone to bring him a dozen items. The items that had just been collected and accumulated that were worthy of being put into the portable warehouse were loaded into the car and left the scrapyard.
It didn't take long.
Chu Heng, who had returned to Volga, drove back to Banchang Hutong.
After parking the car and entering the hospital, she tiptoed back to the bedroom. Ni Yinghong, who was very tired in the first half of the night, fell into a deep sleep at this time. She had never been very honest when sleeping. She didn’t know when she kicked the quilt away again. , half of her body was exposed, Shengxue's white skin was dazzling under the moonlight shining in from outside the door.
“Hey!”
Chu Heng shook his head helplessly and sighed like an old father. He quickly covered his wife with a quilt, then took off his clothes and got into bed.
Dimly, Xiao Ni, who felt the scent of her husband, immediately wrapped her arms and legs around him, hugged him tightly like an octopus and fell asleep again, with a sweet and happy smile on her lips.
……
The next day.
Because Liu Haokong and the others were coming here to meet at noon, Chu Heng didn’t go out to hang out. After getting up in the morning, he coaxed the children in the courtyard for a while, then ran to the study and took out the royal After admiring Wei's silk paintings and practicing calligraphy for a while, he came out of the room at around eleven o'clock and started preparing the hot pot for lunch with Yang Guizhi.
The two have a clear division of labor. Chu Heng is responsible for lighting the fire and preparing ingredients, while Yang Guizhi is responsible for the ingredients.
He first found a brazier, then went to the boiler room and used a shovel to load some red coals and put them in the brazier. Then he threw the charcoal into the brazier and let it burn slowly.
Then we started to prepare the ingredients.
The old Chu family is rich and has always been particular about food. In addition, today’s visitors are not simple people, and they must be presentable, such as sesame sauce, peanut butter, fermented bean curd, chive flower sauce, red oil, etc. Soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and shrimp oil are all indispensable.
After a lot of busy work in the kitchen, it was almost half past eleven.
“Dong dong dong!”
There was a knock on the courtyard door. Chu Heng, who had just brought the shrimp oil into the main room, heard the noise and hurried over to open the door.
The guests who came were exactly the guests he was waiting for today. There were five people in total. In addition to Liu Haokong, Shen Tian, Che Xiaobao’s father, and Che Kangbai from the First Machinery Department, there were also two middle-aged people. The men, one named Ning Guocong and the other Lang Xiqing, both hold important positions in ministries.
“Oh, when several leaders came to the humble house, the plum blossoms were glowing, the bell peppers were glowing!” Chu Heng walked forward with a smile and greeted the few people to enter the hospital.
"We haven't seen each other for almost two years, right? He hasn't changed much, he is still so handsome." Lang Xiqing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, walking inside. "It's been more than two years. The last time we met, I went to Shaguoju for dinner. We met by chance." Chu Heng said.
"You have a good memory, I almost forgot." Lang Xiqing raised his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty is busy with things, so it's normal for you not to remember a little person like me."
"Tsk, you are such a talkative kid who still deserves a beating." Ning Guocong gave him a smiling look. .
"That's right. That mouth of yours can sometimes irritate someone to death. I want to sew it up!" Shen Tian continued.
While they were talking, several people stepped away from the screen wall. Che Kangbai, who was the first to come back, looked at the quiet and elegant courtyard and smacked his lips: "What a humble house in your courtyard? What do we live in? A doghouse?" ”
"This yard is really nice, oh, there are also fruit trees! Is this a plum tree?"
"My wife likes to eat plums, so she planted a few."
"You also I love my wife very much.”
“That’s true. If I don’t love my wife, who will?”
The few people walked through the moon gate while chatting, and then they saw her playing in the patio. Huniu and Chu Zhecheng.
"Come here, come here." Chu Heng hurriedly called the two children over and introduced them: "This is my son Chu Zhecheng, and this is my goddaughter Huniu."
Then he said to the two younger ones: "Hurry up and call someone!"
There are often guests at Chu Heng's house. The two siblings are not afraid of strangers at all. They raise their heads and blink their eyes, calling for people in a crisp voice.
“Hello, uncle!”
“Hello, uncle!”
"Oh, this girl is so beautiful!"
"Oh, this big fat boy, come on, let Mr. Che catch a bird!"
One of the two little guys is cute and cute, A fair, fat and generous man who gave to Queer whenever he asked. He was so endearing that the middle-aged Che Kangbai and the others couldn't help but feel strange for a while, and finally gave him a red envelope.
“Hey, don’t interfere!”
“It’s for the kids, it’s for the kids! Don’t grab it.”
"No, no, no, take it back quickly."
"This is the first time I see a child, take it back quickly!"
After a formal tug and pull, the two little guys each had ten more in their pockets. Five yuan, Che Kangbai and Lang Xiqing, who were here for the first time, each gave five yuan.
Then Chu Heng sent the siblings to the old lady’s room to play, while he, Liu Haokong and the others went into the main room.
At this time, the house was ready. There was a copper pot in the middle of the dining table. The water in it was boiling over the charcoal fire. There were mutton, prawns, tofu, vermicelli and other ingredients as well as various condiments around it.
"Sit down, sit down, I haven't prepared anything good, don't mind it."
After coming in, Chu Heng hurriedly gathered everyone to sit down, without mentioning business or anything else. He put meat in the pot and filled the glass with wine. , eat first and then talk.
After just changing glasses, Che Kangbai put down his chopsticks after drinking two ounces of wine, glanced at the crowd with a smile, and said, "Let's talk about it. We all have suggestions for Haokong. What do you think?”
